Paper Maniac Inspirations ~ Alter It

This week at Paper Maniac, we are sharing altered items. We are driving from Ohio to New York on Thursday evening and I am hoping to surprise my kids with these altered tins filled with snacks, games and anything else I can find to keep the boredom at bay.

I covered the tin with an old street map and thought Billy on his bike from Pink Cat Studios was the perfect image for the theme! The chipboard letters are from Scenic Route and I used the "You are Here" rub-on from Cosmo Cricket's Boyfriend line to finish everything off.

I am planning on using Lily from Pink Cat Studios on the tin for my DD. I thought I had two of these tins but could only find one in my stash so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will find one tomorrow!

Also head over to the store to check out the May Unity store kit. Plus the new collections from Basic Grey and Cosmo Cricket are now in the stock!!

MOJO95, DTC15 ~ Cowboy Ethan

Hello everyone! It is such a beautiful day here in Ohio. My card today is for two challenges the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and the Digital Tuesday Easy as 1, 2, 3 Challenge.

The digital image I chose today is from a set called The Weiman Wranglers available at Pink Cat Studios. These stamps were created to honor Ethan Weiman and his younger sister Ava. On June 12th, Ethan lost his battle with Neuroblastomo and was welcomed into the loving arms of god. All proceeds from this set will be given to the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Illinois. They have raised over $2,000 so far. If you haven't had a chance to try digital stamps, this would be the perfect set to give them a try. The entire set is $6.00 or you can get either just Ethan or just Ava with both sentiments for $4.00.

The patterned paper is from a free digital kit called Rough Riders by Sande Kreiger available at Two Peas in a Bucket.
